That Awful Sound

This week we cover a music video so terrible, we had to do it twice. It’s Mest’s “Cadillac,” an early 2000’s pastiche of pop punk, hip hop, and cali beach vibes that is so unbearable, even those of us who didn't listen to the band are embarrassed.  Guest Nick Guenzler shares a wealth of entertaining stories including the time he ghosted a high school girlfriend for 4 months, catching the singer showing off to Warped Tour bands by doing donuts in his Mest™ brand Cadillac, and a very tumultuous Mest reunion. Also: the singer’s white power background and other ways in which “knowing right from wrong is what [he] lacks,” a member of the Mest family makes an appearance in the comment section, and a track from my old band with Nick, Shut Eye.
